Time management facilities let you track what your vehicles were doing (working, resting, or available) throughout the day and will warn drivers and office operators if vehicles are at risk of infringing tacho regulations.

The system uses manual driver entries to record which mode they’re in. The system then alerts drivers if they are approaching a point where they would be legally required to take a tacho rest (initially at 4 hours and 15 minutes, then every 5 minutes after that). This warning system ensures that the drivers comply and get into the habit of recording rests properly on their mobiles.

Using this information, the tracker screen in the office system shows the appropriate icon (Crossed Hammers, Steering Wheel, Square or Bed symbol) so you can instantly see what each driver is doing. The same icons appear in the history records as well, and are summarised for each day, so you can quickly and easily get details and summaries of all drivers’ time usage.

The system also provides a facility to view Working Time Directive (WTD) compliance of drivers, by showing working time maximums and averages over specified 6 week periods, or over any other chosen period depending on your WTD policies.

Also, using Electronic Timesheets received from the driver’s mobiles, the system can be used to run driver payroll systems. Payroll data can be exported into spreadsheets as required, and an interface with SAGE Payroll is included in the Time Management module.
